Beautiful Day Lyrics

Have you ever wondered what the lyrics to "Beautiful Day" by U2 are?

"Beautiful Day" is a song by Irish rock band U2, released in 2000 as the lead single from their album "All That You Can't Leave Behind". The song was written by U2 members Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr.

The lyrics of "Beautiful Day" are about a person who has been through difficult times but is now able to see the beauty in the world around them. The song's uplifting and optimistic tone has led to it being described as a "song of hope" and a "celebration of life".

The song's chorus features the memorable lyrics "It's a beautiful day / Sky falls, you feel like / It's a beautiful day / Don't let it get away", which have become a defining feature of the song and a popular reference among U2 fans.

"Beautiful Day" was a commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in several countries and winning three Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year. The song's music video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, features footage of the band performing on a rooftop in Paris, as well as shots of people from around the world celebrating life and happiness.

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day (Oooh, ooh)
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me love
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
Day, Day
Day, Day
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have, you don't need it now
What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
